Kirsten Dunst Covers 'C' Magazine December 2011

On winning the Best Actress award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for Melancholia: “Pretty epic. That’s a special award. No one’s getting anything because of any political reasons, especially in my case because of what happened [with director Lars Von Trier's Hitler comment]. I felt such gratitude to experience it at 29 and be able to take in the moment of being up there. Robert De Niro says, ‘The Best Actress goes to Kirsten Dunst.’ That’s a big thing, to have Bobby D. say that.”

On her career goals: “I don’t want to be another blonde actress that’s on the page of Hollywood boring. I don’t want to be part of a safe group. All the women that I look up to were never part of that, and they’ve had the longest careers.”
